Giorgio Chiellini: Suarez bite is 'all forgotten'
Whether or not Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez's apology for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini during a recent World Cup match was sincere, Chiellini says there are no hard feelings about the incident.
Time reports that Chiellini told Suarez Monday that "it's all forgotten," and he hopes FIFA will reduce Suarez's nine-match ban from the sport.
In Suarez's apology, he swore "there will never again be another incident like [this]." Chiellini accepted Suarez's apology via Twitter, the same outlet Suarez used to release his statement.
